These meetings are the ultimate opportunity for deal-making with leading international commissioning executives, TV distributors, and feature film sales agents from across the globe. 

Each meeting is strictly 15 minutes long and focused on one specific project only. This ensures meetings are highly productive and centred on securing a commitment for further discussion, opening the door to potential future partnerships, a commission, or finance. 

To guarantee that every meeting is driven by genuine interest and focused on projects with maximum market viability, access to the Global Matched Market Meetings is secured solely through a competitive, application-only process.

Registered Gold Coast 3-Day Badge holders can submit details of up to three projects they would like to pitch at the market, to a pool of domestic and global buyers, who will have the opportunity to pick the projects that most align with what they are looking for. 

This year, project submissions are integrated into the conference registration process. Delegates can submit a project during registration, or modify their registration at any time before the deadline to add or update project details.

The submission process requires high-level detail about the project, including title, logline, format, genre, duration and a one-page project overview.

Project submissions are now open until 11.59pm AEST on Friday, 20 February 2026.
